"The phenomenon of the late late Sixties and early Seventies, [when a brilliantly wrought, personal film like The Godfather became a worldwide box-office smash] transformed the American cinema. A new flexibility was discernible in the type and style of movie being made.---Diane Jacobs writes about these developments with more than mere enthusiasm ; she brings to life movies like, Nashville, The Rain People, Taxi Driver and Next Stop Greenwich Village and analyses their aesthetic as well as their social importance."
